Tiny Sephora and Canmake haul *^^* Canmake Cream Cheek intro

Hi guys! (Czesc Gosia ;D)

Yesterday a small letter arrived from Japan and inside were my 2 Canmake cream blushers! I ordered colors #1 and #4 from ichibankao and as always they arrived safe and quickly. And since I went to Warsaw to meet up with my dear girl friends and get updates yesterday♡, I bought a lipstick brush at Sephora too. It`s not retractable, but it is very soft and looks well made, all black and sleek and it was affordable - 25pln only (8,45usd)! I will look for a retractable lipstick brush too at another time, yesterday I also went to look at drug stores (none) and INGLOT too, but it was 65pln. I didn`t even go to MAC, because it would be even more expensive I guess... I wasn`t ready to spend this much on a lip brush, since first I want to see if I will even use it regularly; If I do, I will invest in a good retractable one I can carry around too. BTW, the shop girls in Sephora were so nice yesterday, I`m impressed. Good service is 60% of success. ;) 

BTW, they are having this promotion on Sephora makeup in march - with a purchase over 59pln you get a 10pln discount (Sephora brand items only). I also got a tester (smoothing primer), I used this once and quite liked it when I had mixed skin, but I`m not sure if it will work for my dry skin now..? And I`m not a big fan of this silicone-y film feeling on skin neither. D: Here`s my tiny haul:

My VW hand towel is a nice background, eh? ; )

Ichibankao also sent me a generous sample of Kanebo Blanchir Superior cream soap, yay! Whitening face cleanser, how did they know the things I want to invest in next are 1) a good eye cream 2) whitening skin care? lol (And I mean invest, I`m looking into Estee Lauder eye creams and serums, got to save up!) The Blanchir Superior soap is super creamy and foams up like crazy, the foam feels really soft and nice and when I washed it of my face was literally squeaky clean. Also feels like 15ml will go a long way! So, thank You ichibankao, I`ll enjoy it. ^^ Who doesn`t love freebies and testers! ☆

My EOTD yesterday! I cut up volume-type lashes and glued on 3 cut up pieces on outer corner of each eye. I used MAC gel eyeliner, Rimmel sexy curves mascara, Visee palette in A-2 and CHANEL ombre d`eau in white as my base. On brows, KATE eyebrow palette, BiBo eyebrow pencil and Palty eyebrow mascara. ^^ Missha Oriental Herbs BB cream and MAC select moisture cover in NC20, no powder (skin too dry and the bb cream has a powdery finish alredy)

I think I will make a separate entry about the blushes, they are so cute! The diamond-like polished boxed are cute and light, the blushes look sparkly (#1 the pink one is not as sparkly as #4 the orange one). They are cream blushes, but after applying and massaging into skin they turn into powder consistency. They spread easily and sparkle delicately, it just looks like a natural flush, healthy... and the orange color is a challenge! xD I also think they would work great as eyeshadows and lipstick because they are creamy yet powdery after application! (I applied the pink one to my lips, it was 100% covering and matte, such a pretty baby pink color too~ I topped it with a KATE pink sparkly gloss and wow, was I surprised :o Looked so nice! And stayed on really well too.)

Canmake cream cheek #4 and #1.

BTW, I have a new phone, Samsung Avila, it came free with my 2y contract. ^^* It`s a touch screen phone (plays music well and you can watch movies on it too). I`m still getting used to it, but it has a triple screen so I had to use all my favorite JELLY girls as wallpaper! :D

Recently I`m on a big Kato Miliyah kick, looove her voice, lyrics and fashion style! ☆　マジで可愛い過ぎますね♡ If you don`t know her, here`s a sample:

FOTD & trying to organise cosmetics more

Hey guys! 

Lovely weather here, around 0 to 3-4 degrees here and tons of sun! ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ

I am spending the day at home writing my paper (ﾉω･､) and doing some small shopping in my town, so today my makeup is very light and natural, breathable and feels like I have almost nothing on! Here`s the face and what I used! What kind of makeup do you do when you don`t go out other than grocery shopping, etc?

FOTD. (the flash whitened everything out a bit, but I hope you can see ^^`) After washing and toning my face I used Embryolisse cream and after my skin absorbed it all I used Laura Mercier hydrating primer and Missha Oriental Herbs BB cream (the lighter color). Now, I wanted to make the BB cream a bit darker, so I used the Max Factor powder in medium beige (my moms) all over my face to slightly darken my skin. On cheeks I used REVLON perfectly natural blush in #204 (apricot glow), which is orange-ish and I love it (^ε^*)♪ Added a bit of MSF Porcelain Pink on top of my cheek bones! For eyebrows (mine are invisible, so little hair =.=`) I used KATE eyebrow palette (the lighter one) and Palty eyebrow mascara in Milk Tea brown and on eyes just Telescopic mascara and CHANEL Ombre D`eau eyeshadow in white, it brightens up eyes and is just lovely. Just balm on lips because they are too dry for anything. (;_;`) See the cosmetics I used below. I also used MAC select moisturecover in NC20, which is not in the photo, same as the Chanel fluid eyeshadow.

And about the little organising I did, when I went shopping, I actually bought two small containers and organised my primers, concealers and 2 most used bb creams in one box; and powders and blushes in the other one. I need a place to buy nice containers, preferably small plastic cabinets with shelves, so that my stuff is safe from dust and organised! Maybe they have something like I need in IKEA? *wonders* I put those boxes in my big shelf for now.

Also, I ordered so much stuff this month... D: I decided to put a note on my desktop and write down everything I bought with the price, so it will stop me from going crazy with spending money. xDD I don`t buy a lot at the same time, but when you buy 1 or 2 things every couple days after a whole month you get sooooo much stuff! Just this month, I already bought or ordered a lot of sheet masks, lots of other small stuff, china glaze nail polish in recycle, Creme Cup from Mac, the BB cream, Canmake blushes and Visee palette and on top of that 2 lip tars from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.... 8DDDDD Can`t wait for it all to arrive~ 

That`s all! ♡

INGLOT shop in NYC!?

OMG, so I didn`t even know about it, but Inglot, which is a really well known (in Poland) Polish cosmetics brand, opened a big store in NYC! I don`t really know much about the cosmetics, because I haven`t used them in a couple years, but I looove their nail polishes! You must try their nail products, cheap and really good :)
I actually went to their store at a big shopping center in Warsaw recently and looked around curious, soooo many products to chose from it`s almost overwhelming. Everything is out for people to try though, arranged by product and color, the women in the store I visited were helpful too...! but the woman who assisted me, her makeup was hmm.... not my taste. Imagine guidette kind of tan/black hair/makeup, zomg no thank you! xD please change to more professional looking people :o lol!
Anyway, lots of highly pigmented colors, give it a try I guess! ;) 

Here`s a nice tour of the shop from youtube from EnKore Makeup chanel!



Maybe I should try more Inglot products! Try their nail polish, it`s really good. And just generally proud of a polish company making international career! Yay! Apparently the brand is pretty popular in Dubai and Australia! :o They have 60 boutiques all around the world.

2010 Spring cheek colors (*^o^*)

Spring is coming! ヾ(＠^▽^＠)ﾉ
(it`s hard to believe with sooo much snow everywhere though...lol)


Cosme.net posted introductions for spring cheek colors from many different brands! Pink is always popular, but this spring, the new trend is orange and other vivid , "happy" colors, sparkly violet from MAC mineralize series, "orange carrot" from Candy Doll, Matsuwaka Tsubasa`s colabo cosmetics line, pastel and baby pinks and oranges from CanMake cream blushers~ It just looks so colorful, healthy and happy! ♡


BTW, did you know that CanMake cream blushers are recently always in the top 3 in cosme.net ranking! For a long time it was no1 too, now they are no2 after Jill Stuart blush. ^^*

Anyway, today I ordered 2 colors, #1 peach dream☆ and #4 vitamin orange☆. Reviews say this blush has tiny pieces of glitter in it, how exciting, can`t wait for them to arrive so I can test them and review them here. Doesn`t the name vitamin orange sound so good? :D

When they come I will make a post with all my blushes - I have 2 from Revlon, 1 Canmake powder blush, 1 Canmake bronzer/highlighter set, MAC mineralize skinfinish in porcelain pink and I sometimes use my Dior lipstick in Rose Energie as cream blush, as it`s it rather sheer and looks nice on cheeks too. *^^* BTW, did any of You notice, that Revlon blushes are different in Japan and rest of the world? The blushes Revlon sells in Japan have tiny pieces of glitter and it looks so cute on skin, but when I got a Revlon blush in USA a long time ago is was matte and didn`t show up on skin at all and I threw it away... (O_o`) But the Revlon blushes I got in Japan? Love them! 

What`s up with that?

So, are you getting any new blushes for spring? If so, what colors? What do you thin about orange or violet for cheeks? ☆ Thanks for reading~♡ 

JELLY & Happie Nuts april issues

It`s silly though, that the issues released in february are april issues! It would make more sense if they were march issues, since they are released on 17th each month, but april... Anyway, I will probably get both those magazines but in a month, when may issues are released too, so I can get april and may HM and JELLY, all 4 issues together. *^^* Yay!
